Wow, I can feel the excitement building.
wow... even Obama-********* are capable of sarcasm about this non-event...
Actually a pretty big deal; he was an African American running on the Dem ticket when winning the primary was the equivalent of winning the White House. "Republican" was a dirty word at the end of Bush 43, and it was a toxic election cycle for the GOP.
But now, President Obama is a two-term president. That's the kind of tenure, with possible exception of GW Bush, that makes a president an historic figure. Plus it validates that America is evolving on matters of race, and that the 2008 climate was not an anomoly that made a black man possible. He earned a second term, even in a climate, economically, that history says he should have lost.
Two-term Dem presidents, in my lifetime (I'm near 55) include, Obama and Clinton. Very, very remarkable.
